My Peter Pan

(written before Christmas)
It's almost Christmas again! I've been spending the break checking essays of my students. The topic is to describe the person whom they would like to spend the holidays with. Most of them have the same style. I keep on getting the same question either in the introduction or in the body. How about you? How about me? Who would I like to spend it with?

I usually spend the holidays with my family. We stay at home, give gifts, visit our relatives, and attend the never-ending parties and reunions. That sounds fun, right? However, if there would be one person whom I would really really want to be with, it would definitely be my Peter Pan.

How would I describe my Peter Pan? As the name suggests, he's childlike in a way that I know him. He's such a happy person who always wears a smile. People often ask if he gets mad. He's so positive about life. There was one time when I really felt down and stressed and he was able to uplift my spirit just by reminding me of something. Also, I can be myself whenever I'm with him. I can show him the carefree me. Honestly, I've never felt that with other people before. When we're together, it's as if we're the only ones living in the world. Hours pass swiftly when we talk. I love looking at his innocent eyes. I'm sure he likes me. Though I'm still figuring out if he likes me the way I do.
